TOPSHOT - A protester holds a banner reading "We are all the same in face of the high cost of living" while marching in Bangui, on November 14, 2026 during a protest against raising fuel prices. More than 500 people demonstrated in Bangui on Friday to protest rising fuel prices in the Central African Republic and to demand the release of five civil society leaders arrested in October, AFP journalists observed. Central Africans have been facing an increase in pump prices since early October, a decision made by the government that has sparked widespread discontent in this Central African country, one of the poorest in the world, governed since 2016 by Faustin-Archange Touadéra.
